People are out in full force to remember the Baptist minister and Civil Rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. on Jan. 16.

The holiday has people taking time to reflect on Dr. King’s powerful message, which was working to promote American civil rights right up until his tragic assassination in 1968. Martin Luther King Day did not become an official holiday until President Reagan signed the bill in 1983 and it was shockingly not a designated as a paid holiday across the country until 2000.
